Toilet chip repair for Astrope homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK

Toilet chip repair at your home in Astrope

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Astrope

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Astrope. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Astrope. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from Astrope

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
